Oslo Flights

Oslo Airport Gardermoen. Such a wonderful airport.

The building was built in 1998, and is one of the world's best functioning airports. It has also won several architectural awards.

Oslo Airport Gardermoen lies 30 minutes north of the city. 19 minutes with express train.

There are many cheap direct flights to Oslo from Europe. Direct flight to the U.S with Continental to Newark. Other U.S cities you usually have to go through Amsterdam Schiphol or Copenhagen Kastrup.

Check the moose running infront of the airport, as it suited in the middle of a beautiful forest.

Most flights land at Oslo's main International airport in Gardermoen, 50 kms north of the city. SAS and Braathens airlines have got their ticket offices in the basement at the Oslo Central train station.

Oslo has got one main airport in the north which is called Gardenmoen Airport, Oslo. This airport is 45 mins to 1 hour from Oslo city centre. But there is another airport which is being famous day by day. It is called Oslo Torp airport and it's 1 hour and 45 mins from Oslo city center. KLM, Ryan air and Wideroe airlines operate from there. There is a direct bus connection after every 30 mins of arrival of every Ryan air flight in Oslo Torp airport to Oslo main bus terminal, just behind the Oslo main railway station.

The international and domestic Oslo Airport is located in Gardemoen, aproximately 50 km north of the city. Great airport. You can find almost everything you need, if you hadn't time to buy it in town. Although it will be more expensive for you, too.

Personally I prefer planes before all other transports. They are fast, rather safe and comfortable. So during my stay in Norway I also preferably used them and even got a bonus ticket from Scandinavian airlines. So called free ticket was my first experience to fly for “almost free” and I found it very easy and joyful. I’ve never met any problems during my travels around Norway by plane, though sometimes there were delays because of the weather conditions.

I use to be a really nervous flyer but with all the cheap flights that RYANAIR offered I basically did all my travels by plane. 30 trips later on a plane I wasn't feeling so uneasy.

It's too bad that the 'free flights' system hasn't made it over to North America yet...

I choosed Ryaniar becuase of its low fares. From Italy (orio al Serio) to Oslo (Oslo -Torp-Sandefjord) there is only a stop in Germany (Frankfurt-Hahn). it's very cheap travelling by Ryanair ( I spent 180 euros for a round trip) but remember that every airport is far form the city when you want to go, so there is almost a bus service in every airport. From Oslo-Torp airport to Oslo centrum the trip takes about 2 hours.

Oslo international airport at Gardemoen.
It lies north of Oslo and takes over an hour to drive. There is a fast airport train that takes 20 minutes. The cheapest way however is by airport bus. You can catch that from the central trainstation.
